Finally my last auto update for the week. The fatsbuds are done with the stretch and preflowers are all over the place. The new canopy is pretty darn uniform now too. Pat on the back for good training as my lights are maxed vertically and the tops are the perfect distance away for flower. Feedings are back on track as well as pH and if you haven't seen in another diary yet I got an air pump to aerate my solutions and stabilize pH. No deficiencies in this plant at all and more bud sites than any other plant so high hopes. Started aggressive defoliation for light penetration as the stems are too hard for additional LST. She is just loving life right now however she is setting up very slowly so I feel like she'll be a slow finisher with long thin more sativa colas but we shall see...
@Scarecrow, I understand you, I'm in the same situation ahahahah
6 am: a look at the plants, all right, the trichomes are still a little bit transparent, let's wait ...
6.24 am : the trichomes are still a little transparent, let's wait again .....
6.44 am: the trichomes show no sign of changing color, let's wait ...
....
(repeat every 20/30 minutes for 15 days again ๐๐๐๐๐๐)
@DreamIT, thanks buddy I'm excited to actually smoke these things soon. I hate the last bit of flowering when it's technically the "ripening" phase and all you can do is stare at trichomes 1000 times a day....
@Stoner_INDICA, I just wish she hadn't been mauled in the first weeks of flowering by a cat with a vengeance. I swear I got a QP off the fastbuds purple lemonade plant i just harvested but this one had double that potential. It'll always be a big what if for me since the two I have in coco right now are not looking anything like that one and will have nowhere near the yield I could've gotten from her. Would've been my best auto ever but regardless I'm happy to even get her to harvest. I can say this strain is a tough mf for sure...
